Su Kitchen @ Kepong Village Mall

Su Kitchen is one of the many modernize kopitiams popping up like mushrooms all over Klang Valley. And I can tell you that I am not a big fan of this kind of kopitiams. I find them too commercialize and lacking in authentic old town charms.




However, I was presently surprise at Su Kitchen. The food served tasted better and more authentic... and the best part... they have my favourite Honey Milk drink. Its a totally simple yet delicious drink... and I don't understand why not many places provides this...


 Nasi Lemak Rendang Chicken (RM8.30)


 Butter and Kaya Toast (RM2.80)

Yee Mee (RM6.80)

Teh C Ice (RM3.20)

Honey Milk (RM2.80)

The prices here are quite reasonable for a shopping centre. Service is fast, that's a plus point. It's a good place if you want something simple and quick yet affordable..

Camera Bags Monday

It's Monday and I'm having Monday blues :( an after effect from the long break...

Anyway, I've chance upon this new blog, Vera Lana, who takes really cute pictures of babies *awww* and kids... I admire that cause I totally suck at taking pictures of humans... Anyway, I read one of her blog post about camera bags... and OMG!!!!  There are so many amazing bags... I'm like going "I want that! I want that! I so totally need that!"...


It's so hard to get a feminine-girly, don't look like a camera bag, yet can fit all the girly-stuff camera bag in Malaysia... and as I travel quite a bit and carry my camera daily everywhere I go... I have yet to find a suitable one...Most of the time, I just squash my camera into my handbag which its really not good.. 

Anyway, here are my top picks... 

Epiphanie Bags 
This is like my ultimate bag. I can fit both my laptop and camera in one bag especially whenever I travel.. And it looks more fashionable then my normal backpack.:) However, I cannot decide between [paris] or [clover]. I like [paris] design way better but in terms of practicality, I think [clover] would be better choice.. *cause its flap-less*

But then... even though [paris] has a 50% discount... it out of my budget :( each bag cost RM550 and with 50% its RM275 *sigh* and shipping is not included..

Porteen Gear

I get to design my own bag!!! And I get to be as unique as I want.. There are so many to fabric and designs and colours to choose from... Gosh!! I like the medium size bag better but the large has an advantage of being able to fit my laptop.. Cost of medium-sized bag : RM382 (shipping not included)

Here are some of my favourite...

 Zebra


Black Squares
Red Leather

Lowepro Passport Sling Camera Bag
When I first saw it, I thought that it's perfect for my travelling and everyday use. Its practical, its flexible and I could even extend it if I need too.. However, my only con about it is its colour and design :) not so fashionable and feminine looking... But price wise, its the best. Only about RM140 for the black colour from Amazon.com. I could see myself using this...

So, which do you think its the best?


BNTS 2011 is finally over!!

Hello! I'm back again... I just got back from yet another training conducted here in Kuala Lumpur. Was super duper tired and I fell asleep after I came back from dinner last night... Must remind myself not to agree to a back-to-back training again... Young people can be soooo exhausting!!!!

Anyway, I got tons of things to write down..  Let's start with the latest training first. BNTS (Basic NCO Training School) 2011 was held from 1st - 3rd of September 2011 @ Sekolah Sri Sempurna, home ground of 10th Kuala Lumpur Boys's Brigade Company. 




A few friends have already asked me what do I normally do at camps like this. So let me try to explain what we do.


We gave the trainees directions..


We built their muscles...


We trained them..


We fed them.. 


We taught them discipline and the spirit of esprit-de-corps..


We gave them courage to overcome... 


 We taught them social behaviours...


We taught them to communicate..


We listened to their thoughts and plans... 


We taught them valuable lessons.. 


We build relationships with them... 


We taught them good habits..


We let them learn...  


We worked hard... 


We let them enjoy themselves...  


We reminded them not to forget..


We taught them important skills ...  


We gave them nutrition..   


We tested them...  


 We had extra activities... 


We made them learn from their mistakes...


We taught them them to bear the consequences of their decisions...  


We gave them strength... 


We provided them with good food... 


And..... We taught them to be prepared for life...  

Sometimes when things gets tough and I ask myself 'why?', its seeing the changes in them that re-strengthen me. BNTS 2011 was without doubt a fulfilling experience for me :)
